Rugby League lovers from across the region are feeling the excitement this week with news that the Australian Rugby League team are spending six days in the region prior to their game against Samoa in Townsville.
The newly selected team will debut at the Queensland Country Bank Stadium on Saturday, October 14, but they are flying into the Whitsundays this Saturday for a week of training and community interaction ahead of their big event.
Whitsunday Sportspark are excited to announce that the team will be conducted their main training session at the Jubilee Pocket ground this Sunday and the whole community are welcome to come along and enjoy the event.
The team will then head to Bowen where they will hold a Meet and Greet at the Grand View Hotel later in the week.
Hand-picked by Mel Meninga, the new squad features some Aussie legends Nathan Cleary, Payne Haas, Valentine Holmes, Cameron Munster, and Josh Addo-Carr.
The training session will take place from 3.30pm until 5pm this Sunday and Whitsunday Sportspark Chair, Justin Butler, says that he is proud to have a fitting venue for such a prestigious event.
“We always wanted to have the kind of facility here in the Whitsundays that attracted this calibre of event and we are really proud to offer our hospitality,” he said.
“This will give huge exposure for our town and we are really excited to see everyone come down and enjoy the experience.”
The Australian Rugby League Team will be in the region from Saturday October 7 to Thursday, October 12, and their only public appearances will be at the Whitsunday Sportspark and the Grand View Hotel, so make sure you head down.
